Overall, I’m making good progress on my 2011 goals.  A line by line recap follows.

Fitness

Walk, bike, run, or swim 20 miles a week.  I’ve accrued 58 miles, where I should be at 100 miles.  Need to focus more effort here.

I did pretty well on my fitness goals this week following the slow carb diet, resulting in weight loss from 266 lbs to 261 lbs today.  The hardest part is remembering to bring my lunch to work, and not snacking on junk after 10 PM.

I put in 2 miles on the treadmill on Friday and again on Saturday, and 4 miles on the elliptical bike today, for 8 miles total.  I need to get on the bike more in the morning during the week in order to meet my 20 miles per week goal.

I also got a start on my professional goal this week, completing 4 modules of the Force.com Developer Training available on iTunes.  Next week is going to be busy at work, but I am scheduling time so I can complete 3 modules.

As for my flying goals, I spoke with Mike at J&M Aviation.  My Cherokee has been stripped down, but the Robertson STOL kit needs some attention.  Since the repaint has taken a little longer than expected, J&M is going to complete the annual inspection as well.

Finally, I’ve started on re-working the theme and gallery for the website, but it may take a few more days to put it in place.

2010 was a bad year for this blog.  I did not update it once.

For 2011, I’ve set personal, fitness, flying, financial, and professional goals.  Improving this website, and this blog is one of those goals.  Here are the rest of them.

After struggling with my photo gallery software, I’ve finally uploaded the pictures from Claremont, NH and the Harpoon Octoberfest as well as our California Vacation.
